MINOR MENTION
The streets were very muddy last
night, and travelling on foot was
decidedly disagreeable
The river, which il now very muddy,
will no doubt be higher as a consequence
Of yesterdays rain.
One of the summer street cars was
running yesterday and the day before
in the pace of one of the winter ones,
on which new wheels were being placed.
The Council Committee on Ordinances
met last night, but had very little to en-
gage their attention.
The Committee on Cemetsry-Mr.
John O'Brien, chairman-meetst tonight
Rev. c. p. Lyford delivered lecture
at the Central Methodist church last
night on Utah and the Mormons. In
consequence of the muddy condition OF
Inc streets the attendance was not as
largo s.s would under more favorable cir
cumstances have been the case. Those
who did attend enjoyed treat, for the
discourse was instructive as well as hu-
morous and interesting.
